7.1 WIDTH Control
Although we give the option to narrow or widen the effect with the TDT WIDTH control, we
think that most players will opt to keep it at 100%. This will give the best emulation of authentic
double tracking. While many may prefer to continue going through this process authentically
during the recording process, ENDGAME allows this highly impactful effect to be replicated both
live and during practice, maximising audible impact as well as fuelling creative inspiration.
Besides the 100% WIDTH setting, other areas within the range of this control increase your
creative options, with the doubler becoming a very useable and unique effect in a range of
musical contexts.
To set the WIDTH, turn the control as follows:
▪ Fully Left (CCW): Mono/Centred (0%)
▪ Centre Indent: Stereo (50% left and right)
▪ Fully Right (CW): Stereo Wide Split (100% left and right)
Notes:
While for the most accurate performance (and just like in a real studio double tracking scenario
in the studio), our custom True Double Tracker algorithm should ideally be fed with a mono
signal.
In other words, this should be before the Stereo FX Loop, thus setting the Toggle on the front
panel to PRE – see 9.1 FX LOOP POSITION. Having said that, our TDT algorithm has been
optimised to still have a useful and very pleasing widening effect on stereo signals, so see what
works best for your tonal preferences.
